Acrylic Painting

During this session students learned how to plan out a drawing from a still life.  We first started by setting up a still life of a bottle and some fruit.  We then discussed how to begin to plan out our drawing.  Students learned about proportion, shadows, highlights, negative space and value.


From there we re-drew them onto our canvas.  Students then learned about proper brush strokes, how to mix paints and how to blend their colours.  This was a very exciting process for many of them.

Each student worked very hard on their paintings and were extremely proud with the end results.  I couldn't have been happier!

These are just a few of the remarkable paintings that were done!  Remember, these students are between the ages of  7 and 11!
